It’s Friday and for some of us, it has been a very trying week. If you’re like me, you want to unwind, kick back and relax. And what better way to do that than with a little dancing and gyrastic activity.
And who better to provide a means to do so than your main ninja behind the mothertrucking trigger, Panama Jackson.
And it goes a little something like this.
Ciara is pretty unimportant. When it’s all said and done, she’s not going to be remembered. It’s young, sad, and blue. But it is what it is. She’s made largely forgettable music even by today’s standards which is no easy feat and has gotten by on her looks. She’s not a good singer, but she can dance her arse off. In fact, the only time anybody is really ever talking about her is when she drops a new video where she does what she does best…
…hump something. So brings us her latest video featuring Ludacris, “Ride” a song that is not about school buses or horses. It’s about, ya know, riding. And since she thinks most of you women need pointers, the video provides many a tip and instructional visualism to make sure you do it right.
And fellas? You’re welcome.
On the flip side, we have dancing gone wrong. This is a video from a group out of the UK called The Imaginations (they are the original for the sample for Talib Kweli’s “Never Been In Love”). And you really do need one to imagine that the lead singer in this video actually wants to holler at your sister and not your daddy. However, choreographically speaking? This might be one of the most hilarious videos in the creation fo videography. I wish I could have been on the set. I’ve got two words for you: pelvic thrusts.
My people? You’re welcome. Enjoy.
And finally comes a video I spotted at one of my favorite music blogs, The Smoking Section. And they’re right, the video just might be one of the funniest I’ve ever seen. Watch it. Love it. Accept it.
Thank me later.
You’re welcome.
Isn’t your Friday now better?
Do you have any videos worthy of note? Share.
Pretty please.
Panama needs some light in his life.

I saw that Ride video the other day…girl is getting desperate…but it should sell something. That song with JT sold right?
YES! I need it to be Friday so my LED can get delivered and I can go try this boxing class at my new MMA gym.
‘boxing class at the my new MMA gym.”
word?
Damn. Watch out now.
Ha ha…martial arts is fun but I’m not badass. I went out to open mats on Saturday and remembered why it takes at least 2 years to go from white to blue in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu…and I only have one year down
No homo, but….Ciara’s video is nice. Sh*t.
Cosign.
Truth.
Yeah, I’m diggin’ the “Ride” joint too. Her moves are sharp, sexy, and keeps one’s eyes glued to the screen wondering what she’s going to do next. However, when watching the video, it just makes me want to watch her “Promise” video. This “Ride” joint seems like it would be a prequel to “Promise”. The “Promise” video is flawless. The “Promise” video is simple, yet so complex. The subtle, or at times, not-so-subtle wardrobe and dance moves in “Promise” still makes it superior to many other videos of its type. I liked everything in the “Promise” video from the microphone gymnastics to the H-Town stomping towards the end. Just dope.
Did I mention how much I enjoy Ciara’s “Promise” video?
“The “Promise” video is flawless. The “Promise” video is simple, yet so complex.”
Co-sign! It was simple and a great video. That’s my favorite video by Ciara.
It’s my favorite of hers, too.
I think it’s official… I don’t have enough fun walking down the street in a group.
and no salt or hate but the best part of Ciara’s new video is Luda’s verse.
When ever i need a smile/laugh I tend to watch the “angry eyes baby” video or the “baby laughing tearing paper” … something about them finding joy in the simplest of simple things make it a lot easier for me to smile too.
thank you! i was accused of hating (i really believe that ppl say this when they don’t know what the hell else to say) when i said that her dancing wasn’t all that. i’m not saying i can do it, but i know buku ppl that can do that and then some. lol
whenever i need some cheering up, i watch my boy Bangs and listen to him tell me that he wants to take me to the movies. or i watch his “My Special Girl”
enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmJbJs-9ST0
Nope. Ya’ll are still haters.
Thank you! To say Ciara can’t dance your a hater!
Awww man….LOLOL……i feel SO wrong for laughing but…thank you. =)
@ Naomi…i started laughing until i realized he was serious. Wooooooow!
@J.Delicious, I think it’s official… I don’t have enough fun walking down the street in a group.
NOBODY is haveing enough fun walking down the street in a group after seeing these guys. I just want to walk places and weave in and out of things with my homeys now.
Wow no rainbow but Uncle Cecil errr Cyara did a great job of instructing the rest of you about what to do when its time to saddle up. Chick was rockin the riding gloves and all.

Ok, I gotta give it up to Ciara. That is all. I wonder if they’ll start teaching this dance at the local gym…
@ Miss Patterson…if they do i would ride a 2 legged horse to the ATL to take the class.
I’m gonna react to each of these in the order they appear:
1) D@mn…just d@mn…
2) WTF!!? Braids w/ cowrie shells? Daisy Dukes? Gold Chains and Headbands? This is just too much…too much I say…
3) Videos have come a long way….regardless, I like the Whispers…you gotta respect the ‘Staches…
@DG,
Not only must we respect the ‘Staches, but we gotta respect that the brother in the white slacks was GETTIN’ IT! Much respect and love for the Whispers!
The Whispers kick ass, period. They stay on rotation in the Ipod.
and please don’t forget the garter the guy had on. i wonder if he was waiting for cowry shell dude to take it off of him.
Man, Panama as SOON as I saw this was getting posted, I had hoped you were gonna post that “Keep On Loving Me” video. I remember Phonte’s comments over at TSS and that ninja had me DYING.
Phonte’s comments: http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2010/04/the-whispers-keep-on-lovin-me#comment-912021
Maynnne. THIS is why I love Phonte! I swear we need more Phonte’s in this world, so I can marry one of them lol.
Phonte’s Comment from Smoking Section (I was done after reading this):
This is one of the greatest videos in Negro history. My man in the red is named Nicholas Caldwell, one of the group’s founding members and aka, the OG Epic Beard Man. One look at his dance steps and you too will agree that he is, indeed, a motherf*cker.
I’ve watched this video a million times and often wondered what led to them puttin ol’ boy in the back like that:
OG EBM: “Yeah, n*ggas…..we finna shoot this video…I’mma be lookin right and my ‘ography bout to be TIGHT!”
Scotty: “Uhhh, yeah….about that….man, we gon need you to stand in the back cause you be all hammin it up onscreen and sh*t. I mean, me and Walter are the lead singers.”
Walter: *nods in agreement*
OG EBM: “Oh word? It’s like THAT? Y’all wanna hate on me cause y’all two left-footed n*ggas can’t dance? Wanna hate on me cause y’all thick azz moustaches won’t connect to your goatee and sh*t? Aight…..I got something for y’all n*ggas….”
*shows up on set with red coat*
Walter and Scotty (in unison): “THE F*CK IS YOU DOIN, DOG?!?! YOU KNOW D*MN WELL THAT SH*T WON’T IN THE WARDROBE LIST!”
OG EBM: “Well, since I’m in the back and all…..I mean….y’know. *spins*
Other Whispers: “This n*gga here….”
/scene
@SouthernCharm
Aight…..I got something for y’all n*ggas….”
*shows up on set with red coat*
Walter and Scotty (in unison): “THE F*CK IS YOU DOIN, DOG?!?! YOU KNOW D*MN WELL THAT SH*T WON’T IN THE WARDROBE LIST!”
OG EBM: “Well, since I’m in the back and all…..I mean….y’know. *spins*
This right here!!!!!….what you just wrote??….has tears streaming down my face!!! HILARIOUS!!!!! Especially the “spins” part. You are my new favorite person!!!!!! (crying from holding in laughter while at work)
I have just been reincarnated after reading that comment right there. Classic. I kept thinking “on snap, how did the GEICO Cave dude make the video.”
Wow.
This comment not only made my Friday, but my entire weekend.
Wow.
I haven’t seen the video but the commentary alone has me in tears.
Oh Em Gee! Hilarity!!!
This video has got me through many of Intermiediate Economics “study sessions”
Video 2 had me weak…. thank you!
1.You gotta respect the soulful disco stylings of Sylvester. That man could sang. But I just love how he is serving you lip gloss and a wash a go, then a Mr. Rourke white/cream suit and a fan! The dancers in the satin baseball jackets are notable too:

Great you just made laugh out loud at work.
How did I miss this vid!!
Sylvester was the fiercest… 0_0
yeah that Bert & Ernie joint is definitely a best of all time clip. It just takes an off motherf*cker to mesh M.O.P. with Sesame Street.
But if synches so perfectly. *DITC for M.O.P.*
Bout to be a hype Friday. *Ghost ryding the work space*

Hey… Gotta love The Whispers!! I feel like I need to dust, or fold clothes on a Saturday morning while watching The Smurfs..
damn.. imagination.. i still have all their vinyls… i still know all the words…

I have one video I was impress by: Soul Eater Av This Is Halloween
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV7AzNYh5bo
Feedback on the vids please
Great choice on the Imagination, Was it made in the 80s?
Dancing gone wrong, you say?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGVqEDk9YpE
That one had me and the homies rollin a few years ago. There was just too much going on to pick what was funniest: the guy looking like a gay Carlton Banks, the song itself (made even more hilarious by the fact that my 70s-80s baby of a sister knew the words to this joint when I showed it to her), or the video looking like it was shot at some do-it-yourself booth at a Kings Dominion or something.

Happy Friday deez,
Kenisha
@Kenisha
You have officially made my Friday by posting the Troop video!! : )
Glad to be of service.
@Kenisha – re: Troop’s spread my wings, must like a lot of videos from the late 80s and 90s, i always wonder one thing…
…whats with all the pianos on the beach and desert videos? why wa that hot in th streets?
I ‘on know; I’ve never considered it. I guess there’s some appeal to the music/soul/life connection. Couple that with the nature/soul/life connection, and you end up with an appreciation for creation. Well, that, and it was probably cheaper than buildin’ a set or rentin’ a spot.
It may be the nature/song/life connection
OR
it may be rentin’ a set costs too murch.
1. Motivation to get back on track. Being
on a droughtinactive for a while will have you all stiff and inflexible…2.Okay, am I wrong for wanting dude’s head band and gold necklace. Shit would look cute with my white dress, jus sayin…
3. Them ninjas look like dancing clones of Lionel Jefferson. And is it me, or is the negro who always wears red (in any group) the one always being extra?
LOL @ Lionel Jefferson
I”m new to commenting on VSB!
@Ciara: she’s a sweet girl that can Dance. never been able to sing, if all else fails she can always work at Magic City…..her and Mya need to pull A “Christina Milian” and marry a fat pooh bear Producer so they can have $ and a potential VH1 spinoff
welcome!
True or False: the lead “singer” of the imaginations is wearing a black vest under a white vest.
Ciara? Getting by on looks? She not really pretty to me…pretty regular. Bish can dance though!! How bout all Pretty Ricky’s basement choreographed videos. They stayed doin some monkey bouncin’. Just as bad as Ray J’s “Gifts” moves.
rotfl yes…and Pleasure P’s Boyfriend #2…elementary school talent show moves!!!
rotfl yes…and Pleasure P’s Boyfriend #2…elementary school talent show moves!!!
Now that is funny.
Yeah I saw her on south beach once and she’s very skinny and boyish
yes, my friday feels a WHOLE lot betta! thankoo!!
but pls remember us internationals when you post! the ciara video doesn’t allow me to open coz of some dumb geographical restrictions on content what-what…my question is this – what’s the flippin’ point of the World Wide bloody Web if it’s not… WORLD WIDE, HELLOOOOOO!!!
Nx!
for some reason the link isn’t showing so here it goes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tramh0n4o9U
Just thank me later
um, that ciara video is about to contribute to the fast@ssness of so many 12 year old girls, it’s ridiculous
Want unintentional funny. 2 words. Chuckii Booker…. go get you some:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8euf_chuckii-booker-turned-away_music
Thank me later.
@naturallyalise1
I’ll thank you now…..I use to LOVE this song!!!! (I’m showing my age big tyme!! lol) Thanks for sharing.
Not really a video, but a commercial that surely puts me in a jovial mood is that sock puppet commercial advertising the Kia Sorento (I think) car. That shyt goes hard. Them n*ggas be rockin’ out majorly having the best time in the world on the mechanical bull (I knew this related to Ciara’s video in some way) and just ridin’ out. Even the Robot doing the robot is hilarious to me. The commercial makes driving the Kia Sorento the newest drug of choice.
I think I wanna test drive a Kia now just to see if makes me feel like that.
Those Kia commercials are funny as hell. The monkey getting the “Mom” tat sewn on its arm was the move.
I am so glad I’m not the only one loving that commercial!!! I want a sock monkey more than the Kia though.
Yeah, the mom tattoo part made the commercial.
everytie I see that video I just yell out “Sock Monkey!”
@Monk,
My favorite part of the commercial is the Rock em’ Sock em’ Robot doing “The Robot” battling some dude on the dance floor at the club.
that sock puppet commercial advertising the Kia Sorento (I think) car. That shyt goes hard.
I swear I have to refrain from booking a trip to Vegas whenever I see this video! I am about hyped out when they are on the mechanical bull! Lol!
Yup, that commercial goes real hard in the paint.
They walked in to the spot in Vegas liked they owned it. I love it.
Agreed. That commercial is the junk.
I love the band too!!
Through that entire Whispers Video my eyes were glued to their feet to see if ANY of them got outta step or was on the wrong foot walking down the street.
My Momma and Auntie would be proud to know they NEVER got outta step with each other.
*golf clap*
Oh, and my video that cheers me up is homegirl who busts her azz walking the runway.
http://bit.ly/WalkItOut
Ciara- wow..I need to get my ride game up. Seriously, does it really take all that though..talk to me fellas.
In and Out of Love – LOL! I will bet any amount of money those three dudes..don’t even like Pu**y. This video is absolutely the funniest isht..Ive ever seen..when they do the dip and drop..yowza!
I love the Whispers. They are about the voices..they never claimed to be the Temps or the Four Tops.
Ciara’s video: a coupla pron stars could take notes from that
The UK ppl: LOL
The Whispers: LMAO, videos have definitely came a long way. The Whispers are classic good music though!
Ciara is basically a stripper with a record deal to me. She’s Janet Jackson without the good songs and the vocal ability (that’s not saying much).
After watching her videos I always feel that I just wasted $3.99 on the first minute and $1.99 for each minute after that.
Hey, if Ciara couldn’t dance she would be Tweet.
“Hey, if Ciara couldn’t dance she would be Tweet.”
AHAHAHAHAHA…
*perished*
I hatechu for that.
ennnnd scene.
BRUAHAHAHA!!!
The music video for my last single. Enjoy.

@BmoreCreative
Excellent video! Visually exciting; and I enjoyed watching all of the details lead to the purpose. Great job!
@BmoreCreative, yeah it is a dope video. i love the visual effects. Good job homey.
Hot video! Loved the concept!
MAAAAN!!!
I love the video, and the hook is stuck in my head. I dig the lyrics and message. This mess is tight!
Thanks yall…. appreciate the feedback.
love the realness – both the lyrics and visuals.
*insert fb thumbs up on this one.
icanhazcheeseburger is my daily laugh!! Them cats are just evil sometimes and hilarious!!! Some of the captions fit their expressions so well, lol.
em…yeah…the Ciara video just made my Friday a whole lot brighter….
i got nothin since watching vids at work just might push the ‘mans’ (aka my bosses) over the edge. reading and typing are fundamental..you tube not so much. ha! i’ll catch up on sunday
happy friday yall!!
*insert happy dance here.
Aw man dont hate on The Whispers. That video is a classic. If I could I’d grow a face fro just like The Whispers and start (ressurrect) a trend.
Ciara’s video did nothing but keep me focused on keeping my 2-pack intact for the summer. lol She can dance her auss off.
So why am I going to add that Imaginations song to my iPod when I get home. lol The lead singer’s lip gloss was poppin…and I’m using those dance moves when I go to the party tonight!
Next time me and my girls out…we walking down the street like the Whispers…I’d prolly be the fool in the middle walking like I don’t have sense….
and I don’t…at least 33% of the time.
I don’t call simulated phcuking, dancing, maybe because I know the talent required for real dance and such fukcery..*kanye shrug*
Hmm. I’m interested in your theory as to why simulated phuckery ain’t dancing. I mean, it does require some sort of rhythm, right? Or is it lack of technique? But then, someone could argue that it does. lol
For real, I’m so sincere. I mean, no what Ciaria does is not trained dancing, but it’s more “club dancing”…with an extra twist and a snap.
Its my opinion Cheekie but even something like Belly dancing requires more skill, and technique…… now knowing how to phuck requires skill but a diff set, and it doesn’t always translate into being a good dancer either and vice versa, also but when folk say someone can dance their ass off. I think of folks like Fatima R, and some of her students etc..where it is about skill, talent, technique and not just fake riding something, that extra overly vulgar dancing and twerking n sh*t..I don’t even like male strippers LOL
Gotcha. And yeah, Fatima is NO JOKE. Always loved her.
co-sign with this entire statement.
The Whispers – Gotta love em! They are the epitome of “How Grown Folks Be Gettin It”.
Ciara – At this very moment, I am convinced that I’ve experienced/seen so much in life that it is difficult to impress me. Yes, Ciara can definitely dance; but her dancing in this video is nothing to write home and tell Mama about. We’ve seen this from her a million times already. *YAWN*
Now that dancing is on my mind……:
ABDC (Beat Freaks)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAUusxh_39A
Breakin (First Battle with Eletro Rock):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNJN8r1YamY
her dancing in this video is nothing to write home and tell Mama about. We’ve seen this from her a million times already.
Exactly. Same video moves she was doing back in like ’07. She has an ill body, she’s a pretty girl, but dancing nah unh, she aint.
@Dom
I mean, seriously. I remember when Usher’s dancing was on fire! With every new video, he wowed us with a little something extra special. Someone should tell Ciara her dancing needs more people! lol!
LOL @ Breakin’ ! I used to love that movie. Electric Bugaloo (sp?) too. I even think my mom had a crush on Ozone.
But Turbo’s broom dance had me trying to mimic his routine. As a child, I even tied sewing thread around my finger and the broom trying to get his moves down pat. chuckle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVrWDPi12zE&feature=related
@Ms. Butta’sWorth
Girl, tell me about it! I think that was the most attention household brooms got….EVER. I had my string tied to my mom’s broom (and wore socks only on the kitchen floor so I could get my glide to move like butta! lol)
Speaking of Breakin II:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqV6E9Zol24
@CNotes
No you didn’t! LOL Okay, okay…I confess. About five years ago I bought both: Breakin I & II on sale at WallyWorld. And I just may wanna watch them over the weekend for nostalgia’s sake.
The last time I pulled it out, there was an accident. Yep, little cousins and the girls are hooked on “Breakin’ ” so much that while they were copying dance moves, someone got the bright idea to pick up the other and spin them around. Only to drop them. So when asked what happened to the other’s forehead….her response (without remorse at the time) was: “I dropped her.” Which in turn she almost got dropped.
@Ms.Butta’sWorth
LMAO!!!!! This all all your fault! If you had not brought Ozone and Turbo into your home, those kids would not be spinning on their heads and trying to do the Top Rock!! LOL! j/k
@ Ms. Butta’sWorth,
“I even think my mom had a crush on Ozone.”
^Girl, my lil’ elementary school behind had a crush on Ozone. That man has aged well and still looks good!
@legitimate_soul
….now looking around with my index finger raised on the side of my cheek…
I can’t lie. Gurl, I did too. A part of my earlier confession that I
convenientlyleft out…him and the leader of Electro Rock in Breakin II (who Kelly danced with towards the end, at the street festival to save Miracles). LoL (I should not remember the scenes/lines of a movie about break dancin’, but I do.)…now googling Adolfo Quinones Let me find out….
Uncle Ci dances like a male skripper.
Makes sense because essentially, male skrippers dance like chicks. lol
Re: Ciara’s Video
It’s a great video. And yes, that girl can dance her arse off. I ain’t mad at her. I am, however, #envygreen. Go girl.
Re: The other videos Panda posted
I’mma have to look at those later in the day because it is too early to be dying with laughter while watching YouTube. Gotta look productive for a minute.
#fridayshamlessplug: I started a new solo blog which will include all my foolery cheekiness thoughts that I post on here, except in blog form instead of comment form. Hope ya’ll check it out. Click on my name to get there.
Congrats on the new site Cheekie.
Trust me, I think this video along with the Promise video deaded that dumbass rumor that Ciara was a man. If a woman doesn’t look like Beyonce or Alicia instantly the detractors come out in droves.
And that Whispers video … check out the brother in the red, it’s all you need to see.
Thanks, Brando!
“Trust me, I think this video along with the Promise video deaded that dumbass rumor that Ciara was a man.”
Yeah, that onesie she wore in “Ride” that was molesting her cooch, to name one aspect alone…
Yeah, that onesie she wore in “Ride” that was molesting her cooch
I don’t know what’s funnier…the fact you said she was wearing a onesie…or that it was molseting her cooch
Those shots where she was standing next to Luda…she had to have had her shoes off and leaning to make them look the same height b/c that ninja is short! I seen him in person…and if me and CiCi are the same height…ain’t know way her and Luda seeing eye to eye and she got on 4 inch heels
I think Ciara is very “talented” when it comes to seductively hood dance moves, which can come in handy behind closed doors with your SO. As a singer, No Comment. And as already stated, “Promise” IMO is the best one she has to offer. To be honest, I really don’t think she’s must different from Bey…aside from the singing; they both like many of today’s young ladies ring loud n’ clear the sign of: “Hey, look at me y’all…I can do tricks with my _____ and my _____ . Want some?” LOL….but umm, not really.
However, it IS entertainment. Some will like it and others won’t. I don’t see it as hatin’…not necessarily. Depends. The way I see it, “this act” will never get old….it’ll always “be new” to someone….unless they’re over 65….and there’s probably a few….very few exceptions to that.
And Panama, why you gotta play The Whispers like that? I grew up on their music. Haha….still like to listen to them on occasion. (80′s baby) But that video was hilarious. Dude walking between Scottie and Walter had the stride of Donald Duck.
In and Out of Love – once the camera gave the viewer a closer shot of dude with his hair braided in the beaded shells, my fist bawled up by its damn self. The shame….the horror.
Now, this is my isht. I know its old….still my isht though. And finding someone to dance and shimmy wasn’t even necessary for this song or video. And yet, I’m sure it gave many viewers/listeners the same effect.

(Love me some Bilal, but he did remind me of a praying mantis in the video…a little.)
“I really don’t think she’s
mustMUCH different from”smh.
not even done reading the post, but just had to stop at the “young, sad and blue” reference. I will officially be singing that for the rest of the day. Used to be my jam…ok, carrying on to read the rest of the post now.
no problem. lysette got a raw deal.
no diggity.
Great post per usual. The only video making me smile is this:
http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1926703
Can’t figure out if this is really a toddler or maybe just a little person lol.
I just had to come back and put this video on blast too. Mostly cuz i got all nostalgic for Hi-Five (RIP Tony Thompson)
“She’s playing hard to get” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRIup53OIoE&feature=fvw
And the famous, “The Kissing Game (I Like The Way)” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6gkd1YZIWA&feature=related
which i think can honestly go down as one of the best songs of any generation rnb related
achem…. And you forgot Hi Five’s “Unconditonal Love”. Now THAT was my jam.
Touche to both of y’all, especially for “The Kissin’ Game”.
How about this, though:
Portrait – “Honey Dip”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By9R3l55BXU
Sad to say even the last two videos, as ridiculous and hilarious as they were, put Ciara’s to shame to me. At least they had something interesting to look at.
Thanks for that P, this week has been hell and I really needed a laugh this morning.
Happy weekend all!
I’d go so far as to say The Whisper’s video is the best video where walking is prominiently figured…even more so than Billie Jean.
Not sure which video came out first, but I knew that Imaginations vid reminded me of someone else…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjY_uSSncQw
Think about it…similar outfits, dance moves….I can’t make this sh*t up, ppl…

One of the funniest Martin episodes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wd_EApryZA&feature=related
LMAO!
*in Frank Lucas voice* My man…
I knew you’d reply! Tell me that Martin ish isn’t hilarious! “…fry it, dye, lay it to the side…red beans and gravy…i ain’t too lazy!!!”
@LaBakir
That episode was too funny. Do you remember when they were working out and he yelled “switch” to change position? Martin is hilarious. What about when Otis was wrestling that dude and he had him in that hold and Otis kept saying “I’m gonna break you down boy”.
Humble_One…no that time they were in church and ms. jerry turned around and said “shhhh you in church” and martin looked at her and said “YOU in church” in ms jerry’s voice…hi.lar.ious!
ms jerry by the way was on an episode of a different world the other night with the same baby afro….

Now turn to the person that you came with then smile and nod some more:
Anthony Hamilton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-fafXkYwBs
Oh please don’t get me going on that dude! Love. Him. There’s not one song on any of his albums that I do not like. And ladies can say all they want about that man when he was once rockin’ the scruffy faced look…..I’oun (yes, I’ioun) care. It really wouldn’t matter to me if I never knew what that dude looked like, his vocals are sick! Now THAT’S talent IMB. Pure talent….even with his clothes on… kee-kee
And a great sense of humor about himself too. I had no idea that he was quite the comedian.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ErJKRd7hfQ&feature=fvw
But this isht right here ^^^….was the truth as American Gangster’s soundtrack, it complimented that part in the film perfectly….(so were many others of his, to include “The Truth”).
Why o’ why….did you have to bring him up? …let me sit down somewhere, I’m ’bout to cry….I kid, I kid. Just saying.
Hamilton doesn’t get enough credit for what he does. When dude sings I can actually imagine him being “I’m A Mess Right Now”. His voice conveys emotion extremely well.
WORD!!! That’s my song! Gotta listen to it now that you brought it up.
@Wu Young Agent of M.E.
channeling Yvette (a la Baby Boy Ihatechu’! LOL
I had that joint on repeat when the album first came out…track #5. You know lots of folks who enjoy his music say that his voice/songs literally have brought tears to their eyes.
….and track #9 (Float). This ish just made “you” wanna do it. Fuh’ real.
Ms. Butta’sWorth…finally an artist i can relate to. that lil recession is one of the most talented ones we have out right now…if not THE most talented. I’m not going to list his whole catalog…which should be listed my joints from this last album is “her heart” , “souls on fire”, and “the point of it all”
whew….”i can’t stay away from you to long…even if i do i always call”…good lawd!
@thatchic,
I know exactly what you mean.
The man is like a cool breath of fresh air.
He’s cool, I’m cool….so “we” cool.
Son said : …my heart is so tender, like living in a blender…i’m shaken and i’m stirred”
*stomps feet*
He makes me wish I could sing, just so I could sing this song!
“Ain’t bathed can’t shave…” I need a some liquor of the brown variety now. Sh*t!
Everybody has been to that point iat sometime in their life.
When that cd came out my barber was playing it and when “I’m a mess” came on every dude in the place just shut up. No macho b.s. nobody smiled, just deep reflection. The doors of the church may as well have been just opened. The only other song that ever did that to the entire shop was “For the Good Times”.
Y’all don’t hear me.
Oh I hear you buddy…I hear you
smh
I’m sorry for the extra countryness LaBakir. It was an accident, I was just having too much fun.
@Wu Young Agent of M.E.
But to your comment: Hamilton doesn’t get enough credit for what he does. <— I concur with that. But his songs are classics…well, I think so.
Its not the type of music where you can listen to just the melody…or even the lyrics and be able to tell which era it was made in. All you know is, its timeless…no matter what year we're in, one can still relate to its meaning…and its beats/melody never really goes out of style….synonymous with some of Stevie Wonder's music. Well, he's the Stevie Wonder/Donny Hathaway…and a dash of one part Marvin, one part David Ruffin (lookin' boy…lol) of our time….well sans the addiction and other personal isshas.
Speaking of "I'm A Mess" : On his latest album track6 – "Hard To Breathe" kind of reminds me of one another, where Love and Misery ride side by side. Like "The Day We Met" reminds me of "Since I Seen't You".
@ Wu,
Preach! A.H may just go down in history with a few other old negro spirituals.
Made me change my plan, Walk in a different space
Loving you is all I seem to think about…AndWill u let me go if I, Turn around and walk the other way…
Or would u haunt my heart, For the rest of my life?
I don’t want to be caught up in you and
I don’t want to have to see your face
I every other woman
It get’s hard to breathe…Only when I’m next to you, I guess I got caught up in you…I got to break these chains
It’s so hard to sleep…I feel your love is closing in,
Forcing me to play my hand…And I don’t want to win
Okay, I’m done.
Oh, don’t apologize! That’s what real music does man…make you repeat the lyrics like the other person listening didn’t hear them the first time,lol

Seriously tho, we need to put a rap from 92-98 in a time box and bury it for other generations. God forbid they think all rap was SoljaBwoy and WakaFlaka
okay dude with the loose tie and glasses is slaying me.
and dude’s beard in the red jacket… lmbo. ican’t.
i heart the whispers though.
every earth wind & fire video cracks me up until i can’t breathe anymore though. and i heart them. but man… what were they on? lmbo.
and BWAHAHAHAAHA!!! at that Imagination video. oh noooo. i laughed from the first squeal of a note. whyyyy?? yes, he was def trying to holla at her brethren. jussayin. this cheered up my day. thanks. lmbo.
and CiCi… kinda feeling myself bc i can do allathat. i’d never broadcast an example to the world though. i think only him who should be aware of that, should be able to describe it. wow. these songs and these chicks are getting a lil out of hand. now i’m going to have to smack one of my 14-16 yr old students for singing about riding and grinding the gym bleachers. ugh.
oh. and the Axe Bow chica wah wahh commercial STILL cracks me up.

LMAO! What kinda foolishness!!!??? How do you even let a ninja get you in a head lock like that?
@SouthernCharm
Ummm……why did I feel like he was about to choke her to death?? He scares me (really).
Crazy…She was into it for like 3 seconds and then he grabbed the hair. She (and the random guy who walked up) looked genuinely confused.
I know, right?! She looked like she was cool with it until she realized she was in a full-nelson-cobra-clutch.
Oh Jesus…I got scared for her!
That’s probably Ciara’s best video yet…but I have to say Jamaican’s been poppin like that since the 80′s! aint nothin new…except we have hips and ass. BAM BAM lol
@SmartFoxGirl

Here’s just one of many fantastic vids:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXnMPI590yo
Ciara video is DOPE! That is all. Happy Friday:)
Yeah Ciara can dance, but seeing as how Ive attended many “hair shows” and “dance competitions” as a teen in Chicago. These moves are very familiar. There is only so much more innovation once can do with body rolls and booty twitchin.
Now far as posting hilariously awful music videos..I LIVE for that shit.
1st I shall start with the classic
“Beat My Dick” by Pringles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN7FnLADTG8

Misty Knight, you’re so awesome!
You have J*Davey in your avatar and that’s friggin’ gnarly!!!
Gee thanx!
Im a big J* Davey fan, Ive been playing this “Mister, Mister” remix and “Finer Things” in my ipod for weeks!
@Misty Knight,
Love the screen name!
Gracias!
Most people think its a strippers moniker
Lo! Misty is a vastly underused character,
Not Motions hair lotion -dead-
Video #3 was creepy and he should keep his shirt on LMAO
I was to dazzled by the rapid arm movements in the beginning to even let his glistening chesticles get to me. Boy I tell ya bootleg videos are MAGIC!
oh… and has anyone seen this foolishness? it makes me laugh and feel sorry for her mama all in one.
Kiely Williams “Spectacular”

@RocktheCatbox,
Hilarious.
I’m hollarin’ at the racist office party. Oh my dayum…those women look a hot azz mess. And all while creeping through the man’s cubicle to The Lion King’s soundtrack? Really?
Dudes rockin’ onesies kind of reminds me of Thing 1 and Thing 2 from a Dr. Seuss book.
Smh and lmao at the madness.
Here is another video that I like. It won an Oscar. I posted on facebook a few months ago and it was totally ignored. I think it’s cool and different.
http://vimeo.com/11163245
Why are all the women in the Keep On Lovin Me video lightskinned, but the men are chocolate?? Things that make you go hmmm…ain’t sh*t changed.
Is it me or does that cat in the red jacket in that last video look like the gieco caveman
I’ll pass on Ciara, can’t stand her voice. The others were perfect for my Saturday morning chill session.
Peace, Love and Chocolate
Why ole boy in the red at :13-:15 felt the need to shuffle twice and hit a spin? real talk, i’m still laughing at that. my man shuffled twice and spun. im like, “is this real?”
and while im on sports…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDBR2L5kzI
not the game. we talkin bout practice. lol.
No shade but despite Ciara’s slick dance moves, this video reeks of desperation to sell records–especially since “Fantasy Ride” flopped. I think when she first came onto the scene, she was trying too hard to be a “Dirty South” version of Aaliyah. The only difference between her and Aaliyah is that Aaliyah blended good music, singing, and tasteful videos together effortlessly. Ciara needs to find her own identity. Her talent is mediocre at best, and the only reason anyone watches her videos is to watch her dance.
1, 2 Step was the last thing I liked by her.
